DFM in Ciscoworks.

Hello

I'll put up device Fault Manager in Ciscoworks LMS 3.0.1

For the moment, we used what is gold (ping) to alert the team of Technical Support if the devices go down. As you can imagine, they receive hundreds of emails every day to inform them that these devices are going up and down etc...

Ciscoworks may draw attention to more detailed information, I would like to alerts configuration for the team of support when the devices goes down/crash/inaccessible etc. using SNMP. These devices do any configuration on them to attract the attention of Ciscowork. They are already syslogs send to the Ciscoworks server. What settings will suffice for these devices down?

Also, I have more questions, for notification of SNMP trap on the Ciscoworks server, what information should I put here?

DFM version is 3.0.2

Thanks 1million

Anthony.

First of all, I highly recommend that upgrade you to 3.0.3 DFM. There is a serious enough problem that can cause the whole of the LMS to failure if some that are installed on the system. This bug is fixed in 3.0.3 DFM.

If you wish to inform your operators based on syslog messages, you can set up automated actions to do so under RME > tools > Syslog > automated Actions. Any time a corresponding syslog message is processed by the RME and e-mail can be sent, or a script can be executed.

While DFM can treat some traps, it is mainly based on SNMP and ICMP on election to build its events. Therefore, as long as SNMP and ICMP connection exists between your server and your devices, you should be set. You can configure notifications DFM under DFM > Notification Services. I recommend that when you set up your Notification Group, just check you the option buttons in events. Events contain specific details about a defect of the device. Alerts, contain a roll-up high level of several events. DFM notifications can be sent as e-mail, traps and syslogs.

    Hello

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.1 monitor temperature

    Hello everyone!

    I am creating a poller to monitor the trap of the temperature of my cisco catalyst 2960 Ciscoworks LMS 4.1.

    I created a snmp trap on my device:

    Switch(conf-t) # snmp-server <@IP_server_LMS>SNMPv2c host -I use SNMPv2c

    Switch(conf-t) # Server enable snmp traps envmon temperature

    I created a MIB model Envmon with these variables:

    -ciscoEnvMonTemperatureThreshold

    -ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue
    -ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState
    -ciscoEnvMonTemperatureLastShutdown

    I created a poller associated with my model, I add my device and when I click on 'Next', I have this error message:

    ###

    No instance are in the devices. This could be because the device is inaccessible, the device does not have the case for selected models or the timeout value is low.

    ###

    Could someone explain to me why I can't monitor MIB?

    Thanks for your consideration and Merry Christmas to all!

    It seems that most of the 2960 have a temperature sensor implemented in hardware and therefore, it shows no values.

    If a device does not show anything on CLI, it is almost impossible that it will display something via SNMP.

    Looking in DFM.log shows the number of output lines from discovery and I guess that's the output of a command to debug.

  • With the help of CiscoSecureACS with CiscoWorks RME

    I need help in configuration of CiscoWorks for use CiscoSecureACS for authentication of the connection. I've specified GANYMEDE + as the module connection. I am able to connect with an account of the ACS server. However, the permissions are not set correctly. When I connect with on behalf of ACS server, the options are not displayed (for example, under Administration, inventory, RME, add devices... the Add Device option is not present). Please notify.

    To be concise, ACS is not all the fields required by Ciscoworks. This is why you should always define user profiles in ACS.

    ACS is simply an authenticator. CiscoWorks always manages permissions. Look at the available in Ciscoworks fields and you will see there are a number of roles that each user can take. I guess that Cisco may include one day extensions in ACS to manage specific areas of the CiscoWorks profile, but this is not the case today.

    I think that the advantage of using ACS is centralized authentication. Users do not have to change their passwords in several places. Logon violations are stored in one place.

    You will find that when you set profiles in CiscoWorks they will remain fairly static.

  • First management LAN CiscoWorks LMS or Cisco? Help

    In my business, we look adds a network management solution:

    Some time ago, we installed CiscoWorks LMS 3.2, but we decided to install on the other more modern solution, what is the solution which recommend me?

    Requeriments:

    1 000 devices from cisco management.

    Regularly perform massive configurations.

    Constant monitoring of the network infrastructure.

    Backups of configuration.

    We have two solutions:

    -Update the current CiscoWorks to LMS 4.x version

    -buy the "First Cisco LAN Management" Solution

    What solution that recommend me?

    Thank you for your attention.

    Kind regards.

    Hi Jeffersson,

    The current product packaging is a bit confusing. Cisco is rebranding all of their management under the aegis of the first Cisco solutions. All prime products have a common appearance and take advantage of some approaches architectural.  From LMS 3.2 on 4.x will put you in the first territory of Cisco.

    In the 'first' products are (among others) "Cisco first Infrastructure" (also known as PI - 1.2 is the current version) and "Cisco first LMS" (4.2.3 is current). Preferred Infrastructure (1.0) began in the successor to management wireless Cisco (NCS) product and had been adding features on the way to bring it up to parity with LMS functionality to wired infrastructure. He isn't quite there right now (current comparison here) that existing customers of LMS are usually advised to stick with the latest version of the LMS for now.

    Still with me? Good. If the extra twist is that 4.2 LMS is "included" with licenses of FT 1.2 - see the link guide below. So, if you want LMS 4.x, you order indeed 1.2 FT with licenses "Cycle of life" according to the number of devices you manage. (There also is 'respect' and 'insurance' adding these new features of the respective licenses. Compliance is available from LMS 4.2 in the CAAM.  Insurance is almost a FT 1.2 functionality only.)

    So my recommendation to you would be to upgrade to version 1.2 of PI and to install and to use the LMS 4.2 (4.2.3 and put patched up-to-date with all the packaging of the products). If you have a VMware configuration, deployment option flexible device (file eggs) is the easier implementation,.

    You may find it useful to explain this point of view of Cisco the following two links:

    Functional reference LMS

    Control of IP and Licensing Guide

    Don't worry not-all this will not be on the test.

  • Question of discovery for the DFM "stuck in Questioned state devices" device

    Hello

    We have LMS 3.0.1 installed with DFM 3.0.4 devices display Questioned with error code "SNMP timeout" without any specific reason. The snmpwalk is coming to the unit I checked with the snmpwalk command. The only device discovered as "known" has authorized ICMP from the server to the device and any other device. They don't have that SNMP permit. This reach the dicovery? or what else can I try... Please think!

    Rgds

    Yes. DFM requires that all SNMP and ICMP accessible devices. DFM uses the ICMP protocol to check accessibility to all IP addresses on the device. However, at the very least, the address by which you manage the device MUST be accessible ICMP.

  • CiscoWorks - freeing of disk space

    Hi people,

    Our old CWLMS 3.2.1 becomes short on disk space, it was suggested that the directories named 731, 732 and 733 on the D: drive could be deleted. The three directories seem to have the same subdirectories (see attachment), were all created in February 2012, and use about 5 GB of space each.

    I don't know if these three records are essential to the operation of Ciscoworks or whether they are the remains of some maintenance actions; In short, I can remove them?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Hi Scott,.

    What are the backup of the theCWLMS .  If you have kept 3 different instance of the backup of the LMS.

    If you have another backup somewher then you can remove all three, or you can atleast remove 2 and keep 1 to be a safer side.
